For example, selecting the checkbox 604 a for the account named ScreenName1 and subsequently selecting the unlink button 606 would break the link between the account named ScreenName1 and the other linked accounts. An optional confirmation may be presented to verify that the selected screen names should be unlinked.
- the account linking interface enables the entry of authentication information for an account after the add button 602 has been selected.
- the screen name of the account to be linked may be entered in a name text field 608
- the password for the account to be linked may be entered in a password text field 610 .
- selecting a save button 612 verifies the entered authentication information and creates a link to the other linked accounts.
- a cancel button 614 may be selected to dismiss the account linking interface 600 without linking any more accounts. After the cancel button 614 is selected, the list of linked accounts shown in FIG. 6A is presented to the user.
- the entered authentication information is incorrect, a notification will be presented, and the authentication information may be entered again. If additional authentication information, such as a SecureID code, is needed to authenticate the account, a means for entering the additional information is presented.
- additional authentication information such as a SecureID code
- a yes button 616 and a no button 618 enable the user to decide if more accounts are to be linked to the set of linked accounts. If the yes button 616 is selected, the name text field 608 and the password text field 610 are presented again to allow the user to enter authentication information for the additional account to be linked. If the no button 618 is selected, the list of linked accounts is displayed. The yes button 616 and the no button 618 are only presented if the limit on the number of linked accounts has not been reached. If the limit has been reached, then the user is presented with a message saying that the limit has been reached and that no more accounts may be linked. A single confirmation button dismisses the message and displays the list of linked accounts when selected.
- the account linking interface 600 may suggest a set of accounts to be linked, thus simplifying the account linking process.
- the accounts may be suggested based on the structure of the accounts for the communications system. For example, a hierarchy may exist where a set of accounts are subordinate to a master account. In such a case, the account linking interface 600 may suggest that the subordinate accounts be linked to the master account. For example, the account linking interface 600 may suggest that eight accounts named ScreenName1 through ScrenName8 be linked together. Next to each account listed in the account linking interface 600 is a checkbox that can be used to select the corresponding account.
- a checkbox 620 a is associated with an account named ScreenName1
- a checkbox 620 b is associated with an account named ScreenName2
- a checkbox 620 c is associated with an account named ScreenName3
- a checkbox 620 d is associated with an account named ScreenName4
- a checkbox 620 e is associated with an account named ScreenName5
- a checkbox 620 f is associated with an account named ScreenName6
- a checkbox 620 g is associated with an account named ScreenName7
- a checkbox 620 h is associated with an account named ScreenName8.
- a link button 622 enables the creation of links between the accounts that have been selected using the checkboxes 620 a - 620 h and the account for which the account linking interface 600 is displayed.
- a process 700 is used to link multiple accounts such that communications may be sent simultaneously from the linked accounts.
- the process 700 begins when a main account is used to log into a communications system ( 702 ).
- the account linking control panel is accessed so that other accounts may be linked to the main account used to sign in to the communications system ( 704 ).
- the button on the account linking control panel for linking an account is selected ( 706 ), and the authentication information for the account to be linked is entered ( 708 ).
- the authentication information for the account to be linked may be known already by the main account.
- an account hierarchy may exist where authentication information may be known by a master account for all of the accounts subordinate to the master account.
- the account to be linked may subordinate to the main account, so the authentication information for the account to be linked may be known already by the main account.
- the account information for the account to be linked does not need to be entered. If the authentication information is correct, then the account is linked to the accounts that have been previously linked. If more accounts are to be linked ( 710 ), the button for linking an account is selected ( 706 ), and the authentication information for the account to be linked is entered ( 708 ). In this manner, the authentication information is sequentially entered and verified for all of the accounts to be linked.
- a list of linked accounts is presented. If any accounts are to be unlinked from the rest of the linked accounts, then they are selected from the list ( 712 ). The unlink button is pressed to break the links between the selected accounts and the other accounts that remain linked ( 714 ).
- FIGS. 8A and 8B seven accounts 802 - 814 have been linked together using different relationships between pairs of directly linked accounts.
- the type of relationship used to directly link a pair of accounts determines whether a different pair of accounts may be indirectly linked.
- a bi-directional link exists between the accounts in FIG. 8A .
- a bi-directional link is a two-way link such that linking a first account to a second account means that the second account also is linked to the first account. Therefore, two relationships are created with a single link.
- bi-directional links exist between different accounts, and SN 1 is linked to SN 2 , SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 .
- SN 1 is linked to SN 2 , SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 .
- SN 2 , SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 appear as aliases of SN 1 .
- SN 2 is linked to SN 1 and SN 7 , which appear as aliases of SN 2 when SN 2 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- SN 3 is linked to SN 1 , which appears as an alias of SN 3 when SN 3 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- SN 4 is linked to SN 1 , which appears as an alias of SN 4 when SN 4 is used to sign in to the communications system
- SN 5 also is linked to SN 1
- SN 1 appears as an alias of SN 5 when SN 5 is used to sign in to the communications system
- SN 6 is linked to SN 7 , which appears as an alias of SN 6 when SN 6 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- SN 7 is linked to SN 2 and SN 6 , which appear as aliases of SN 7 when SN 7 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- one-way linking is used between accounts, so a reflexive relationship does not necessarily exist between two linked accounts.
- each account has to create a link to the other account.
- SN 1 is linked to SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 , which appear as aliases of SN 1 when SN 1 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- SN 2 is linked to SN 1 , and SN 1 appears as an alias of SN 2 when SN 2 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 are not linked to any other accounts and do not have any aliases.
- SN 6 is linked to SN 7 , so SN 7 appears as an alias of SN 6 when SN 6 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- SN 7 is linked to SN 2 , which appears as an alias of SN 7 when SN 7 is used to sign in to the communications system.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B The description provided above with respect to FIGS. 8A and 8B is premised on the accounts 802 - 814 being linked using a star linking scheme, which dictates that a direct link must exist between two accounts before the accounts are linked.
- a star linking scheme which dictates that a direct link must exist between two accounts before the accounts are linked.
- two accounts may appear to be linked even though a direct link between the two accounts does not exist.
- This linking scheme called mesh linking, calls two accounts linked if there is an indirect link between the two accounts.
- SN 2 and SN 4 may be called linked under a mesh linking scheme because they are indirectly linked through SN 1 .
- two accounts may be called linked in a mesh-linking scheme if there exists a path of linked accounts between the two accounts.
- a sign in interface 900 allows the user to enter the authentication information needed to log in to the communications system with a primary account.
- the screen name of the primary account may be selected from a selection box 902 .
- the screen name of the primary account may be typed in the selection box 902 .
- the password for the primary account may be entered in the text box 904 . If the checkbox 906 is selected, then the password for the account listed in the selection box 902 is automatically entered in the text box 904 from memory. Selecting a checkbox 908 will cause the primary account to appear as invisible, which prevents other users of the communications system from detecting the presence of the primary account even though the primary account is logged in to the communications system.
- a sign on button 910 is selected. After selecting the sign on button 910 , the authentication information entered on the sign on interface 900 is verified. If additional authentication information, such as a SecureID code, is needed, a means for entering the additional information is presented. If the information is successfully verified, then the buddy list interface 400 is shown for the primary account and all of the linked accounts.
- a dialog box 912 may be presented after verification of the authentication information and before the buddy list interface 400 is displayed.
- the dialog box 912 informs the user that a link to an alias account has been broken because the password for the alias account has changed.
- the option to relink the alias account to the primary account is given.
- a relink button 914 is enables the reestablishment of the link. Selecting the relink button 914 displays the account linking interface 600 , and the new password for the alias account may be entered. After successful authentication of the new password, the link between the primary account and the alias account is reestablished, and the dialog box 912 is dismissed.
- the user may be presented with a separate form or a text box within dialog box 912 to enter a new password for revalidation of a broken link.
- a cancel button 916 dismisses the dialog box 912 without reestablishing the broken link.
- the link between the primary account and the alias account remains broken.
- a dialog box 912 may be presented for each link from the primary account to an alias account that has been broken. After all of the broken links have been reestablished or dismissed, and the buddy list interface 400 is presented.
- the link between the primary account and the alias account may be maintained despite a change in the password for the alias account.
- the dialog box 912 is not presented, and the link to the alias account does not need to be reestablished.
- Links between accounts also may be broken manually. From the perspective of a single user with multiple linked accounts, the user may break any link between the linked accounts regardless of the linked account used to sign in to the communications system and regardless of whether the link is bi-directional. Authentication information for the accounts connected by the link to be broken may be entered in order to authorize the destruction of the link. Similarly, from the perspective of multiple users with multiple linked accounts, a link between an account to which the link extends and an account from which the link extends may be broken by the user corresponding to the account to which the link extends. A notification may be sent to the account from which the link extends, and the permission of the account from which the link extends may be required for destruction of the link.
- a process 1000 is used to sign in to a communications system with multiple linked accounts.
- the process 1000 begins when authentication information for a primary account for signing in to the communications system is entered and verified ( 1002 ). The visibility of the primary account is checked ( 1004 ). If the primary account is to be visible, then the presence of the primary account is announced to the other accounts that currently are logged in to the communications system ( 1006 ). If broken links from the primary account are detected, then the links may be repaired to reestablish a connection between the primary account and an alias account ( 1008 ).
- a set of accounts that are linked to the primary account including those accounts that had a broken link repaired, is accessed ( 1010 ).
- One of the linked accounts from the set of linked accounts is chosen ( 1012 ).
- the chosen linked account is authenticated based on authentication information stored with respect to the primary account ( 1014 ).
- the visibility of the linked account is checked ( 1016 ). If the linked account is to appear visible, then the presence of the linked account is announced to the other accounts that currently are logged in to the communications system ( 1018 ).
- a buddy list interface 400 a has been displayed for a user of a communications system with linked accounts.
- the user has two linked accounts, one with a screen name of AIMUIUser, and one with a screen name of AIMUser.
- the buddy list interface 400 a includes a buddy list 402 a for the account with screen name AIMUIUser and a buddy list 402 b for the account with the screen name AIMUser.
- the buddy list 402 a is displayed first because the screen name AIMUIUser was used to sign in to the communications system.
- the buddy list 402 c for OtherUser1 includes the screen name AIMUIUser, which indicates that the account with the screen name AIMUIUser is logged in to the communications system.
- the buddy list 402 d for OtherUser2 includes the screen name AIMUser, which indicates that the account with the screen name AIMUser is logged in to the communications system. Even though the account with the screen name AIMUser did not directly log in to the communications system, the account is still shown as logged in because the account is linked to the account with the screen name AIMUIUser, which was used to log in to the communications system.
- communications may be sent to and from the linked accounts using a communications interface 1200 .
- the communications interface 1200 includes a recipient indicator 1202 that indicates a recipient of the messages sent with the communications interface 1200 and a sender indicator 1204 that indicates a sender of the messages sent with the communications interface 1200 .

- the recipient may be added to the sender's buddy list by selecting an add buddy button 1310 .
- the recipient indicator 1202 indicates the communication was intercepted by the communications system, but the sender indicator 1204 still indicates the recipient chosen in the sender selection box 1302 .
- a process 1400 is used by a sender to initiate communications with a recipient.
- the process 1400 begins when the sender chooses one of the accounts linked to the account used to sign in to the communications system to communicate from ( 1402 ).
- the recipient of the communications is chosen ( 1404 ).
- the compatibility of the chosen sender and recipient accounts is checked to verify that communication between the sender and the recipient is allowed to occur ( 1406 ). If so, the sender account is free to send communications to the recipient ( 1408 ).
- a process 1450 is used to respond to a message received from a user of the communications system.
- the process 1450 begins when a message is received from a user of the communication system by a client program that is running for multiple linked accounts ( 1452 ).
- the intended recipient of the message is determined ( 1454 ).
- the intended recipient is one of the linked accounts for which the client program is running.
- a response to the original message is sent from the linked account to which the original message was addressed ( 1456 ).
- the determination of the intended recipient account of the original message is automatic. Should a response to the original message be sent, it will automatically appear to be from the account to which the original message was sent.
- a process 1500 is used to forward messages to locations where recipients are available to receive them. Because accounts may be linked, the same account may be signed in to the communications system at multiple physical locations. A message is sent to every location where a recipient of the message is signed in to the communications system and may be replied to at any of the locations where the recipient account is signed in to the communications system. If an away message is up, the message is forwarded to the next location that does not have an away message up, where the locations are ordered based on the time of sign in. If away messages are up at all locations where the recipient account is signed in, the message is held at the location where the recipient account first signed in to the communications system.
- the process 1500 begins when a message is received by the communications system ( 1502 ).
- a set of locations at which a recipient of the message is signed in to the communications system is identified ( 1504 ).
- the locations are the places where the message may be received by the recipient.
- the message is sent to one of the set of identified locations ( 1506 ).
- a determination is made as to whether the location is available to receive the message ( 1508 ). In other words, a determination is made as to whether the location has an away message displayed. If the location is available to receive the message because it does not have an away message displayed, then the message is left at the location ( 1510 ). If the location is unable to receive the message because an away message is up, then it is determined if there is another location that may be available to receive the message ( 1512 ).
- the message is held at the location where the recipient first signed in to the communications system ( 1514 ). Otherwise, the message is forwarded to the next location in the set of locations, based on the sign in time of the recipient ( 1516 ). A determination is made again as to whether the location may receive the message ( 1512 ). If so, the message is held at the location ( 1514 ). Otherwise it is forwarded to another location if one exists. In this manner a message may be passed between all of the locations where the recipient is signed in to the communications system so that the recipient can receive and respond to the message.
- SN 1 was used to sign in at a first location and that SN 2 was used later to sign in at a second location.
- SN 1 is linked to SN 2 , SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 , so messages for SN 1 , SN 2 , SN 3 , SN 4 , and SN 5 may be received at the first location.
- SN 2 is linked to SN 1 and SN 7 , so messages for SN 1 , SN 2 , and SN 7 may be received at the second location. If the first location has an away message up and the second location does not have an away message up, then messages sent to SN 1 and SN 2 are forwarded to the second location.
- messages for SN 1 and SN 2 are forwarded to the first location, while messages for SN 7 are held at the second location, the only place where SN 7 is signed in. If both locations are have away messages displayed, then the messages for SN 1 and SN 2 are held at the first location, where SN 1 and SN 2 first signed in, and messages for SN 7 are held at the second location, where SN 7 first signed in.
- a notification 1600 is presented after one of a specified series of events relating to the accounts listed on the buddy lists of a set of linked accounts.
- the header 1602 of the notification 1600 contains screen name of the linked account whose buddy list contains the account that triggered the notification.
- the body 1604 of the notification contains the screen name of the account that triggered the notification as well as a description of the event that triggered the notification.
- Certain actions by the accounts listed in the buddy lists for the linked accounts may cause a notification 1600 to appear.
- the actions include signing on to the communications system, signing off of the communications system, going away from the communications system by putting up an away message, returning from away, going idle by not using the communications system for a specified amount of time, and returning from idle.
- Which actions cause a notification to appear, if notifications are to appear at all, may be set in the preferences control panel 1650 of FIG. 16B .
- the section of the preferences control panel 1650 that governs when notifications 1600 are displayed may be accessed by selecting the notifications option 1652 in the list of preference categories.
- the notifications section of the preferences control panel 1650 includes a checkbox 1654 for selecting whether notifications 1600 should be displayed. Selecting the checkbox 1654 causes notifications 1600 to appear when they are triggered.
- a series of options 1656 - 1666 govern which actions lead to the display of notifications 1600 .
- selecting option 1656 will cause notifications to appear when accounts on the buddy lists for the linked accounts sign on to the communications system.
- selecting option 1658 causes notification to appear when accounts on the buddy lists sign off of the communications system.
- Option 1660 causes notifications 1600 to appear when accounts go away, and option 1662 causes notifications 1600 to appear when accounts return from away.
- option 1664 causes notifications 1600 to appear when accounts go idle, and option 1666 causes notifications 1600 to appear when accounts return from idle.
- Any changes made to the preferences control panel 1650 may be saved with an accept button 1668 . Selecting the accept button 1668 closes the preferences control panel 1650 and applies the changes made to the preferences control panel. On the other hand, a cancel button 1670 may dismiss the preferences control panel 1650 without making any of the changes to the settings that govern when notifications 1600 are shown.
- the described systems, methods, and techniques may be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, computer hardware, firmware, software, or in combinations of these elements. Apparatus embodying these techniques may include appropriate input and output devices, a computer processor, and a computer program product tangibly embodied in a machine-readable storage device for execution by a programmable processor. A process embodying these techniques may be performed by a programmable processor executing a program of instructions to perform desired functions by operating on input data and generating appropriate output.
- the techniques may be implemented in one or more computer programs that are executable on a programmable system including at least one programmable processor coupled to receive data and instructions from, and to transmit data and instructions to, a data storage system, at least one input device, and at least one output device.
- Each computer program may be implemented in a high-level procedural or object-oriented programming language, or in assembly or machine language if desired; and in any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language.
- Suitable processors include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory and/or a random access memory.
- Storage devices suitable for tangibly embodying computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, such as Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), and flash memory devices; magnetic disks such as internal hard disks and removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and Compact Disc Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM).
